Zabbuli 125

1 Oluyimba nga balinnya amadaala. Abeesiga Mukama bali ng’olusozi Sayuuni olutayinza kusiguukululwa, naye olubeerawo emirembe gyonna.

Those/We who trust in Yahweh are [as secure/steadfast] [SIM] as Zion Hill, which cannot be shaken and can never be moved.

2 Ensozi nga bwe zeetooloola Yerusaalemi, ne Mukama bw’atyo bwe yeetooloola abantu be, okuva kaakano n’okutuusa emirembe gyonna.

Like the hills that surround Jerusalem [protect the city], Yahweh protects [us], his people, and he will protect us forever.

3 Kubanga abafuzi abakola ebibi tebalifugira mu nsi y’abatuukirivu, baleme okuwaliriza abatuukirivu okukola ebibi.

Wicked people [MTY] should not [be allowed to] rule over the land where righteous [people] live. If they did that, those righteous [people] might [(be encouraged to imitate them and]) do things that are wrong.

4 Ayi Mukama, abalungi n’abo abalina omutima omulongoofu bakolere ebirungi.

Yahweh, do good things to those who do good things to others and to those who sincerely obey your commands [IDM].

5 Naye abo abalaga mu makubo gaabwe amakyamu, Mukama alibawaŋŋangusa wamu n’abakola ebitali bya butuukirivu. Emirembe gibe ku Isirayiri.

But when you punish the wicked people [who are not Israelis], also punish those [Israelis] who turn away from walking on the good roads [MET] that you have shown them! I wish that things will go well for [people in] Israel!
